We understand that the Committee are
decidedly favorable to the selection of At

provided our city shows u disposition to
offer inducements anything like commensu
rate with those which other cities iu the
Stale stand prepared to offer, and we have
reason to believ c that with a moderate de

Atlanta may be chosen ns tlie permanent
place for holding the Fairs of the Society.

we hope that steps will be taken at an early

his countrymen, applied to the commander
of the Water Witch, who iirerposed his ser

ot workmanship, built of Italian marble,
and about ten feet in height. The inscrip

county, Indiana, October 3d. 1853 ; died at
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 2d, 1853.” On the
reverse: “ A man without fear and without
reproach; of gentle and retiring disposition,
of clear and vigorous mind; an accomplish

the North s ue: “ ilo fell by the hand of

Mr. Editor:—In tho preseut state of anxiety
about the governmeut of our city, it is probable
our fellow-citizens would give attention to any
suggestions intended to secure good government
in the future. In this hope I request to beallowed
to address them through your paper. In this first
eo:nmumention I will confine my remarks to the
two following propositions:
I. Strict justice should bo done to all parts of
the city.
Occasion for just complaint and consequent
excitement should be carefully avoided.
It is intended that our Council should be com-

ed by scarped banks, stockades and masse*
of cannon. I have seen many of what are
called first-class fortresses, but the preseat
aspect of Sebastopol might vie with any.
On our extreme left, the French push the
enemy closely. They have not lately ad
vanced their works but their third parallel
is still within 200 yards of the Russian bat
teries, and only 400 or 500 from the house
outside the walls. The part of the tuvvt

The interests of the ward; are net represented in
Council inconsequence, but the interests of politi

itiesjjjut on business ! The crying wrong should
be remedied. How is this to bo clone ? Let the
city laws lie so altered as to allow each ward to
eominatw aud eieec its owa representative at its
own appointed precinct; at which time they can
also east their votes for Mayor; and alter the elec
tion is over, the managers c**n meet at the City-
Hail and unitedly declare the result.
I will suggest a few of the important advantag
es which will flow from the plan of conducting our
municipal elections. 1. Tho monagers in each
ward will be likely to know every legal voter in
j opposed to the French is certainly more in-
i jured than on our side, of course, becau-e
their being nearer, their guns have longer
range. The mud fort, which, a- 'be com-
